Filter Cartridge Life
Several variables determine how long
the cartridge will last in your Household
Water Filtration System. These include:
I
levels of sediment or other undesirable
substances in your water.
I
the amount of water you use.
I
the filter location (filtering all or part of your
household water).
Filter Cartridge Replacement
You should change your filter when the water flow is noticeably reduced or at least every three months.
Turn off water to filter. For model GXWH01C,
1
water must be shut off from an upstream
valve. For model GXWH08C, rotate bypass
valve to the bypass position.
Press the red pressure release button to release
2
pressure.
Unscrew the filter canister and discard used
3
filter. Wash the filter canister with mild soap
and water. Do not use harsh cleaners or hot
water.
Inspect the filter canister O-ring. Make sure it
4
is lightly lubricated and completely seated in
the groove. It is recommended that you
replace the O-ring if it is damaged.
Place a new filter cartridge into the canister
5
making sure it is centered and completely
seated on the bottom seal.
Reinstall the filter canister to the unit. Hand
6
tightening is all that is required to seal the
unit.
Installation Overview
NOTE: Be sure to allow a minimum space of 1
under the filter for removing the sump, to change
